[Paddlewise] Paddlewise: Building my boat

Hi folks,

I am following the traffic on this group for some weeks now and 
found a lot of interesting information and discussions.
As a new kayaker, just started last summer with renting boats, I 
spent the last weekends building my own boat (stitch and glue). 
Some impressions of the still ongoing work are on my webpage.

It's not one of the kits offered by Pygmy or Chesapeake,  it is a 
local Nova Scotian design, called Volkskayak. It was a good way 
for me to solve problems of transportation and storage 
(Volkskomponentkayak, see details on the web), and I did it in the 
company's workshop in a workshop, so no messing around with 
dust and sticky epoxy in my home and advise and a helping hand 
whenever it was needed.  
Now I am waiting for spring, or at least a nice, calm winter day.

Cheers

Ulli
